In the Results by state section maybe the congressional districts for Maine should be added (Since Maine splits there electoral votes by district).

For the record: I did not change it to say "landslides." Somebody else did. I was content with just "wins," but always supported the fact that the election was preceded by three consecutive GOP landslides, but certain Wikipediers insisted they knew better and added sophomoric language, basically called me "arrogant," and stamped their cyber feet until I finally relented because arguing with a child is not worth it. But I'll stand by the "landslide" epithet as that is what was the case. Sorry if you do not have a degree in History. Forgive me please, for I do! Myownworst (talk) 00:10, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

The electoral map for this article and also for the 1996 and 2000 articles have Utah with 6 electoral votes. Am I missing something or shouldn't it be 5? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:2:AA24:D991:7517:B480:D81D (talk) 07:16, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
"As of 2016, this is the last time Georgia and Montana voted for the Democratic candidate, and the last time the state of Florida backed the losing candidate, while being only the second time the state has done so since 1960. This is also the earliest presidential election from which all four Democratic and Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates are still living."

A - It doesn't have a yellow-tinge to it not present in the full photo and it showcases more of him besides an up-close view of the face. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
The Sum of the votes shown for Clinton, Bush, Perot, Marrou, and Others is 104,424,006. However, the total votes shown in the table is 104,423,923. A difference of 83 votes.
Not sure where the math error is located but though I would point out the discrepancy for the sake of accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6E1:79E0:F00D:725A:24C4:19B3 (talk) 14:47, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
In my opinion, the 1993 image of Bill Clinton is a better fit for the page, as it is one that is more easily recognisable (both for the subject and the time period), and the time discrepancy between the election and the image being taken is small enough that it makes sense to use the presidential portrait for this page. Penumbra01 (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Gerald Ford was never elected president, nor was he elected Vice President either, so he can't be considered to have been "reelected." It should either say that Bush was one of four incumbent presidents to lose an election campaign, or that he was one of three presidents to lose a reelection campaign. 2607:FEA8:84A1:6300:253A:6E7F:185E:FE93 (talk) 17:56, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
The lead says "Furthermore, the 1992 Los Angeles riots loomed over the election, especially after the four officers were acquitted of all charges regarding the incident with Rodney King." This statement is unsourced, the Los Angeles riots are not mentioned again in the article, and the article on the riots does not mention an impact on the election. Addionally, the vague "loomed over" seems like an acknowledgement that they didn't actually affect the election, so why are they mentioned? 1.145.247.151 (talk) 04:28, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
It looks pretty low quality compared to the other two, and it looks like it was colorized by an AI or something? There's visible splotches of color changes on it and it looks pretty crusty Codename Jenny V (talk) 02:46, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
The photograph for Ross Perot must be changed. It feels completely out of place and feels like it was taken for a newspaper during a business event instead of being an actual photograph that Perot's company had put out. Plus, the current photograph and the photograph that i wish to put up for the infobox were taken in the same year and with not that much of a time difference between the two images. ~ HistorianL (talk) 00:25, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
The portrait for President Clinton on the infobox is currently Option 1, same as it is on the 1996 page. I made an edit changing Clinton's portrait here to Option 2, which clearly met resistance, because two people reverted it back without reason. To prevent an edit war, let's hold a vote here.
I prefer Option 2. We use the first on the 1996 page already. There isn't anything wrong with this, but since we have several official portraits of President Clinton taken in an official capacity, why not use different portraits for different elections? We do that for basically every other president on their infoboxes, including Jimmy Carter, a one-termer. It was also probably taken closer to the 1992 election. The portrait is dated 1999, but it's obvious it's from much earlier, because he is much younger, particularly his hair, which was snow white by 1999. Since his hair is still brown, it's much more likely that this was taken when he was president-elect or sometime in 1993. Anyways, I'd appreciate it if we got other editors to weigh in so that we can reach a consensus here instead of constant edit warring. ~ GI Brown 1970 (talk) 01:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
I agree with the change, Option 2 offers a difference in portraits whilst still being accurate for 1992. It’s a good portrait too, and fits well. Gelid Lagopus (talk) 13:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
Strongly support Option 1. It is customary to include photos that were recently taken of a candidate in infoboxes, and the second proposed image was taken in 1999, seven years after the election, while the existing portrait was taken in 1994. Also, the proposed second option isn’t even an official portrait, while the current one is. — Politicsfan4 (talk) 17:18, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
I vote for number 2. Not only does it look nice, it makes sense to use a photo of Clinton from the time of the campaign over his official presidential portrait since he was not yet elected. Festive TCT (talk) 03:15, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
I vote for number 1, as we have no conclusive proof that this photo was taken in or around the year 1992, besides how one deems the 2nd photo of Clinton to look younger than the other. The editor has not confirmed if they factored in issues such as lighting with the date of the photo. The presidential portrait also follows precedent, with Ronald Reagan in 1980, George W. Bush in 2000, Barack Obama in 2008, Donald Trump in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020, all of whom use official portraits from the days preceding or succeeding their inauguration, despite other portraits published closer to their respective election days existing.
